mcintosh6600: Couldn't agree more. Plus, a decent phono (maybe tube?) preamp would be great. I'm playing this vinyl as we speak. The audio quality is absolutely stunning, even with headphones.

Having had this album since its release back in '82, I'm finally experiencing it as it should be, all thanks to picking up a MC cartridge after years of tinkering with audio equipment. It's absolutely stunning, provided you've got the right setup.
AP Redone Album Thrills

This album is fantastic, and I've got a pretty decent first pressing that sounds amazing. The AP version is absolutely worth it - it's incredibly dynamic, more detailed and atmospheric without being overly bright, and the tonal balance is perfect. One of the best AP releases I've come across, I'm thrilled they re-done this super fun album featuring three incredible artists, backed by legends.

Incredible legends jamming together, what a lineup! Doug Sax absolutely crushed it with the pressing and mastering, perfect 10/10. Music into words, it's just that good.
